1 1.1

PHILOSOPHY AND BASIC PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING Integrative Psychotherapy (IP) Training: IP training will provide professionals with a training that reflects and emphasises a relational attitude and approach to psychotherapy. IP Training will provide a creative and selfreflective process through stimulus and structure, based on valuing and enhancing both the professional and personal level of IP competences and relational functioning. IP Training will, therefore:

1.1.1

Ensure and provide evidence that the IP psychotherapist or counsellor has a minimum level of theoretical knowledge and clinical competence.

1.1.2

Enhance and ensure that congruence is evident across all criteria, (e.g. IP philosophy; ethical awareness; professional and safe practice) throughout the duration of the learning.

1.1.3

Consider and respect the National Laws and Professional Regulatory Organisations within each Country where IP is practiced.

-4-

IIPA Training & Standards Commission Training and Standards for Certification

1.2 1.2.1

The Rationale for establishing IP Training Standards is: To establish specific standards for facilitating excellence in training, supervision and clinical competences, professionally and ethically, for IP psychotherapists and counsellors.

1.2.2

To determine that a certified IP psychotherapist or counsellor has the minimum training qualifications to practice under his or her Countrys legal jurisdiction.

1.2.3

To develop, identify and foster links, internationally, between psychotherapists and counsellors who use IP concepts in their practices.

1.2.4 1.2.5

To establish and develop an international standard curriculum for IP Training Institutes. To develop, identify and foster International communications between training institutes that teach IP.

1.2.6 1.2.7

To establish and develop continuity and congruence among colleagues who practice IP. To establish a common standard of validation for professional and personal competencies in the International practice of IP.

1.2.8

To foster IP psychotherapists and counsellors commitment to ongoing professional and personal development.

-5-

IIPA Training & Standards Commission Training and Standards for Certification

1.3 1.3.1

The Methodology of IP Training Consists of: A style of training characterised by a structure that emphasises attunement to the trainees rhythm, relational needs, cognitive frame of reference, developmental level and affective process.

1.3.2

A didactic and experiential approach to learning that helps the trainee integrate IP principles into their personal and professional development.

1.3.3

Supervision and teaching methods wherein the theoretical concepts and methods of IP are modelled and demonstrated.

1.3.4

IP supervision that fosters in the supervisee an increased capacity for contact in relationship, in part by increasing the supervisees capacity for self-awareness and internal contact.

1.3.5

A supervision process that uses inquiry, attunement and involvement to facilitate the professional development of the trainee.

1.3.6

A teaching process that takes into account the experience and cognitive style of the trainee in a relational way of teaching.

1.3.7 1.3.8

A teaching and supervisory process that emphasises ethical concerns in the field of IP. The supervision structure can also involve other components that are involved in the supervisory relationship.

1.4

Learning commentary on the learning process context and expectations of trainers:

1.4.1

A group is the main forum for learning/training. A certain number of hours may also be distributed through seminars during the year. Ideally, these seminars should be once a month. Since we are aware that some countries could have problems maintaining this kind of structure, at the beginning this structure might be varied. However, a continuous learning experience should not be less than four workshops a year. An IP Trainer or Institute can apply in advance to the TSC for a specific and designated structure, programme and/or curriculum.

1.4.2

The trainer and supervisor should be aware that it is important to create an affective relationship between trainer and trainee. The learning/training approach required is to be responsive to the trainees relational needs and to the developmental phase of the trainees learning process.

1.4.3

The trainer needs to be aware that if the trainee is not learning effectively, there may be a lack of relationship, or a problem in the training contract.

1.4.4

The trainer must also be aware that learning/training is not effectively accomplished if by introjection, but by assimilation and integration.

1.4.5

The length of the training process may vary; the length of the process should be based on the needs of each trainee.

1.4.6

The trainer should be aware that his/her role is to stimulate trainees to spend time learning and focusing, in greater depth, on the aspects of the curriculum in which the trainees are most interested. This training approach supportively facilitates the personal style of the trainee(s).

1.4.7

The experiential training time (personal work or relational group therapy in the training program) has to be at least 25% of the total training time. This will provide the opportunity to learn, discuss and observe the teaching-learning process from the four domains of the personality, as well as paralleling this style of working.

-7-

IIPA Training & Standards Commission Training and Standards for Certification

1.4.8

Theoretical concepts can be taught as a consequence of a common experience: (e.g. live therapy or practical work); in this way trainees potentially learn the concepts through their own experience, as well as by attending lectures, reading text, etc.

1.4.9

Continuous personal work is required and necessary to become a psychotherapist and/or counsellor. This could be through personal psychotherapy, engaging in personal work in group process or personal development workshops.

1.4.10 Stimulation to consider alternative treatment approaches during each session will foster and enhance the learning/training process. 1.4.11 The trainer, and where possible a Mentor, will facilitate and support trainees in selfregulating their progress towards achieving their qualification. A mentor will cooperate with the trainees trainers and supervisors.

-8-

IIPA Training & Standards Commission Training and Standards for Certification

1.5

Learning the role of Trainers and Supervisors/Consultants and expectations of them:

1.5.1

The trainer or supervisor1 is a senior clinician with IP expertise, having been trained and accredited in the integrative approach by the IIPA and is an IIPA Certified International IP Trainer and Supervisor who responsibly accepts and offers, with commitment, the possibility of training and/or supervision in Institutes and private training programmes. When training refers to a specific approach of training (e.g. body work; Gestalt; cognitive; TA) this should be taught within the IP framework and core concepts and principles of IP.

1.5.2

A healthy relationship between trainer and trainee is required and characteristic of a reciprocal relationship, whereby, both parties give genuine respect to relational needs. The trainer or supervisor models the theory and methods of an integrative approach (e.g. as described in the Keyhole2).

1.5.3

Training and supervision has multiple, parallel and central functions, to facilitate the personal welfare and the professional development of the trainee/supervisee, to ascertain and ensure the welfare of their clients.

1.5.4

The trainer/supervisor fully engages in understanding the relationship between the supervisee and his/her client, as an ethically responsible supervisor and in accordance with the laws of the particular locality in which the supervisor and therapist practice.

1.5.5

Trainers and supervisors are required to be highly motivated individuals and having the skills to motivate others, have an ability to dynamically facilitate groups, cooperatively and coherently.

In some countries (e.g. USA & Canada) to contractually agree to Clinically Supervise a psychotherapists or counsellors casework implies, by default as a standard policy, that the Supervisor and or Consultant accepts both clinical a legal responsibility for the Supervisees casework. 2 See 3 Diagram page 30

IIPA Training & Standards Commission Training and Standards for Certification

1.6 1.6.1

Supervision Methods: The trainers/supervisors level of attunement to the relational needs, rhythm, cognitive, affective and developmental phase of the supervisee, both from a professional and personal perspective, is a vital component of supervision. For example, identifying and increasing the supervisees awareness of the transferential processes and possible fixations as an essential part of effective supervision.

1.7 1.7.1

Group Supervision: Group supervision, in a securely facilitated environment will assist participating supervisees, by encouraging effective and valuing interactions, to evoke reciprocity and self-definition. This will also foster a sense of belonging.

1.7.2

The supervisors presence and relational involvement, for example normalisation, acknowledgement and validation, significantly increases the efficacy of supervision and enhances the supervisory relationship in valuing both parties.

1.7.3

All this is a way of expressing professionalism, respect and commitment to the welfare of both the supervisee and his or her client.

The TSC has requested that the IIPA Board provide a minimum of one evaluation date and workshop each year in Europe and in the USA, and at each biannual IIPA Conference. The TSC propose that the IIPA receive a fee for this evaluation process. The TSC suggest a fee of $425 be transferred to the IIPA bank account prior to the application process. The TSC will as far as possible provide translation when required. Should the applicant choose option a) above, e.g. sending an audiotape and verbatim transcript of a live therapy session to the TSC. The TSC will identify two CIIPTS/CIICTS to evaluate the audiotape and verbatim transcript. Should the application choose option b) above, the workshop will consist of and include at least 4 peer CIIPTS/CIICTS. The purpose will be to evaluate IP competencies, offer guidance to the applicant. The group will evaluate the applicants ability to enquire, attune and be involved in an effective therapeutic relationship. There will be an opportunity to give feedback and evaluation of the IIPA evaluators within this certifying process. The goal of the evaluation is to be in a position to respond to the following two questions: Would I refer a client to this person, specifically as an Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor? What IP skills need to be improved by this applicant?

The TSC have developed an evaluation sheet of competencies for this purpose.
